  • interworking of the WLAN and the cellular network must be considered in order to provide a flexible service by overcoming coverage limits of an access point (AP). Accordingly, a lot of interests have been made on the activation of the WLAN service which has been distributed worldwide and the interworking of the WLAN and cellular network.

  • the most reliable method for interworking the WLAN and the cellular network is to use a mobile IP.
  • a general method using the mobile IP disconnects a physical layer on a session and re-connects it. It takes a few seconds according to an existing protocol.
  • the disconnection and re-connection time must be reduced as much as possible. That is, when a terminal moves from one network to another, a re-authentication and re-access process for the terminal must be performed in a short time. Therefore, there are strong demands for a roaming method between the WLAN and the cellular network which can reduce a time consumed to support mobility.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a roaming method between a WLAN and a cellular network which can prevent data loss as much as possible during roaming because data maintenance is more important in a data service than real time differently from a voice service.
  • the present invention is intended to embody the roaming method between the WLAN and the cellular network to minimize the data loss and reduce the time for roaming.
  • a roaming method between the WLAN and the cellular network includes a first step wherein a packet data serving node of the cellular network which recognizes allocation of an IP address to a specific mobile terminal notifies information on a current access state of the mobile terminal to an access point managing means of the WLAN located in a current service area of the mobile terminal, a second step wherein the access point managing means which the mobile terminal newly accesses requests address renewal to replace an address of the packet data serving node by its address, allocates an IP address to the mobile terminal according to the renewal result, and notifies it to the packet data serving node, and a third step wherein the packet data serving node which receives the notification message from the access point managing means transmits data obtained during the roaming due to the movement to the access point managing node, whereby the roaming is performed from the cellular network to the WLAN.
